Step 2 :

Polynomial Roots Calculator :

2.1 Find roots (zeroes) of : F(x) = x3+5x2-18
Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of x for which F(x)=0

Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers x which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers

The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number P/Q then P is a factor of the Trailing Constant and Q is a factor of the Leading Coefficient

In this case, the Leading Coefficient is 1 and the Trailing Constant is -18.

The factor(s) are:

of the Leading Coefficient : 1
of the Trailing Constant : 1 ,2 ,3 ,6 ,9 ,18

Let us test ....

P Q P/Q F(P/Q) Divisor
-1 1 -1.00 -14.00
-2 1 -2.00 -6.00
-3 1 -3.00 0.00 x+3
-6 1 -6.00 -54.00
-9 1 -9.00 -342.00
-18 1 -18.00 -4230.00
1 1 1.00 -12.00
2 1 2.00 10.00
3 1 3.00 54.00
6 1 6.00 378.00
9 1 9.00 1116.00
18 1 18.00 7434.00

The Factor Theorem states that if P/Q is root of a polynomial then this polynomial can be divided by q*x-p Note that q and p originate from P/Q reduced to its lowest terms

In our case this means that
x3+5x2-18
can be divided with x+3

Polynomial Long Division :

2.2 Polynomial Long Division
Dividing : x3+5x2-18
("Dividend")
By : x+3 ("Divisor")

dividend x3 + 5x2 - 18
- divisor * x2 x3 + 3x2
remainder 2x2 - 18
- divisor * 2x1 2x2 + 6x
remainder - 6x - 18
- divisor * -6x0 - 6x - 18
remainder 0
Quotient : x2+2x-6 Remainder: 0

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.3 Factoring x2+2x-6

The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +2x its coefficient is 2 .
The last term, "the constant", is -6

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -6 = -6

Step-2 : Find two factors of -6 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 2 .

-6 + 1 = -5
-3 + 2 = -1
-2 + 3 = 1
-1 + 6 = 5

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Final result :

(x2 + 2x - 6) • (x + 3)

Jeremy and Brenda drove their cars in

harkovskaia [24]

Answer: Jeremy drove 84 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of miles that Brenda drove.

If Jeremy drove twice

as far as Brenda, it means that the distance covered by Jeremy would be 2x miles

When they stopped after some time, they were already

126 miles apart. This means that the total distance covered by both of them is 126 miles. Therefore,

x + 2x = 126

3x = 126

x = 126/3

x = 42 miles

The number of miles that Jeremy drove is

42 × 2 = 84 miles

PLEASE HELP ASAP! I don’t recall how to do this!

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For a. we start by dividing both sides by 200:

$(1.05)^x=1.885$

In order to solve for x, we have to get it out from its position of an exponent. Do that by taking the natural log of both sides:

$ln(1.05)^x=ln(1.885)$

Applying the power rule for logs lets us now bring down the x in front of the ln:

x * ln(1.05) = ln(1.885)

Now we can divide both sides by ln(1.05) to solve for x:

$x=\frac{ln(1.885)}{ln(1.05)}$

Do this on your calculator to find that

x = 12.99294297

For b. we will first apply the rule for "undoing" the addition of logs by multipllying:

$ln(x*x^2)=5$

Simplifying gives you

$ln(x^3)=5$

Applying the power rule allows us to bring down the 3 in front of the ln:

3 * ln(x) = 5

Now we can divide both sides by 3 to get

$ln(x)=\frac{5}{3}$

Take the inverse ln by raising each side to e:

$e^{ln(x)}=e^{\frac{5}{3}}$

The "e" and the ln on the left undo each other, leaving you with just x; and raising e to the power or 5/3 gives you that

x = 5.29449005

For c. begin by dividing both sides by 20 to get:

$\frac{1}{2}=e^{.1x}$

"Undo" that e by taking the ln of both sides:

$ln(.5)=ln(e^{.1x})$

When the ln and the e undo each other on the right you're left with just .1x; on the left we have, from our calculators:

-.6931471806 = .1x

x = -6.931471806

Question d. is a bit more complicated than the others. Begin by turning the base of 4 into a base of 2 so they are "like" in a sense:

$(2^2)^x-6(2)^x=-8$

Now we will bring over the -8 by adding:

$(2^2)^x-6(2)^x+8=0$

We can turn this into a quadratic of sorts and factor it, but we have to use a u substitution. Let's let $u=2^x$

When we do that, we can rewrite the polynomial as

$u^2-6u+8=0$

This factors very nicely into u = 4 and u = 2

But don't forget the substitution that we made earlier to make this easy to factor. Now we have to put it back in:

$2^x=4,2^x=2$

For the first solution, we will change the base of 4 into a 2 again like we did in the beginning:

$2^2=2^x$

Now that the bases are the same, we can say that

x = 2

For the second solution, we will raise the 2 on the right to a power of 1 to get:

$2^x=2^1$

Now that the bases are the same, we can say that

x = 1

On ITV's Homework Hotline, it's time for "Rudolf's Rules." If you guess what rule Rudolf is using you get a prize. Someone puts

oee [108]

Answer:

y = 3x -18 ( where y = balls sent back by Rudolf; x= balls given to Rudolf)

Step-by-step explanation:

x (Balls given) y( Balls sent back)

8 6 Δy/Δx = (27-6)/(15-8) = 3

15 27

25 57 Δy/Δx = (57-27)/(25-15) = 3

Observing the number sequence shows constant gradient and as such we can use equation of a straight line to relate the two variables.

Using the equation of a straight line we have:

(y-y1)/(x-x1) = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

y-6/x-8 = (27-6)/(15-8)

y-6/x-8 = 3

y-6 = 3(x-8)

y-6 = 3x - 24

y = 3x-18
